I sure hope Marvin won't disappear, it's by far the best reader I ever tried. I even found a couple of small things I was despairing to ever see anywhere on my Kobo. Like the ability to mark a book as unread and/or unopened which I love. On my Kobo if you accidentally open a book, it's marked as open and being a bit of a neat freak I don't want books I have not read appearing as open. My only solution was the annoying delete-then-plug-kobo-then-reload-the-book-again routine.
With Marvin I can simply flag is as unopened and if needed, unread.

Another thing I love with Marvin is the ability to change metadata right in your list of books. I personally hate when in my list, a last name comes first e.g. King, Stephen. Worse, when you have several books of a same author and some come inverted and others not so in your list they appear in a separate location. How annoying that is with my Kobo. The solution being the excruciating and time consuming messing with the css file or opf to find and change it on my computer. Now with Marvin it's done straight in the book list inside the app.

Sorry for my digression but this app is so great that I can't help but praising it. Now about this issue of page turns that go to next chapter, I never had that either, my books work fine. So could this be an issue of bad css or some other code error in the ebooks themselves ?
